The 26-year-old artiste said he heard Springsteen only recently when he listened to the EP of 'Nebraska'.
"I'm weak-minded at times, and feel very vulnerable and insecure... My plan is a lo-fi album that will be my lowest- selling, but most loved... I only heard Springsteen recently.
"I was with Kit (Harington) from 'Game of Thrones'. We had a night out in New York, got back to his hotel to drink more, and he played Atlantic City. Then, when I heard 'Nebraska'," Sheeran told The Times.
